THINGS TO DO WITH DAD IN BRIGHTON
If you’re looking to treat your dad to a special gift, or just want to spend some quality time with him, why not consider an experience gift in Brighton? From its pebble beach to its bustling breweries, Brighton has something for everyone, so whether you live here already or want to take your dad on a trip, you’re spoilt for choice for things to do. To help you decide, we’ve picked four of our favourite experiences that are guaranteed to get dad grinning.
Brighton White Cliffs Bike Tour
If you and your dad enjoy cycling together, why not make a day of it on the Brighton White Cliff Bike Tour? As one of the UK’s most popular seaside destinations, Brighton’s beauty is no secret – but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of hidden gems to explore along this stretch of coastline. Your guide will lead you past Brighton's iconic pier and Madeira Drive, home to the oldest electric railway in the world, and as you cycle you’ll learn tidbits about the city that only locals know. You’ll cycle past the stylish marina, where you can climb to the top of the cliff for breathtaking views of the marina and glittering waters. On the way back you’ll cycle along the Undercliff path, where you can admire pristine white cliffs on one side, and the deep blue sea on the other. You and dad can finish off with some delicious gelato from an award-winning ice cream stand, before spending the rest of the day chilling on the beach. A relaxing, enjoyable, and uniquely memorable day.
The Craft Beer Tour of Brighton
If you and your dad like nothing better than sipping a beer (or four), why not book yourselves onto The Craft Beer Tour of Brighton? Brighton has more pubs per square mile than any other place in the UK, so where better to delve into the craft beer revolution and sip some of the country’s finest brews? During this tour you’ll wander through Brighton’s quirky streets as your expert guide takes you to the city’s best craft beer pubs. You’ll learn about the battle between the traditional ‘boozers’ and the new craft beer pubs beloved by hipsters – and you’ll also learn how a new method of beer-making kickstarted the craft beer craze back in the 80s. You and dad will sip Brighton craft beers at the Evening Star, enjoy exotic stouts at the North Laine Brewhouse, savour delicious Scottish IPAs at Brewdog, and finish off with some sensational tipples at Brighton Bierhaus. Cheers!
Half Day Sailing Trip in Brighton
If your dad feels most at home on the water, why not treat him to Half Day Brighton Sailing Cruise? Setting off from Brighton Marina, this is your chance to enjoy a seafaring adventure with your dad, either heading out into the open waters of the English Channel, or cruising along the stunning Sussex coastline. With an instructor aboard to guide you, you’ll learn the basics of sailing – from hoisting the sails to taking the helm – and it’s up to you and dad whether you want to get stuck into the activity yourselves, or prefer to sit back and relax, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and warm sun on your face. If the weather is right, you can even jump in and take a refreshing dip! During the cruise you’ll sail past beautiful sights like Seven Sisters and Beachy Head, so don’t forget your camera… although this is undoubtedly an experience you and dad will always remember, photos or no photos.
Brighton Pavilion Escape Room
Does your dad love adventure, murder mysteries and testing his cognitive abilities? If so, the Pavilion Perplex Escape Room is an experience both he, and you, will love to share. Escape room activities have become incredibly popular recently, simply because they’re so exciting and utterly unique. This particular experience takes you back in time to the early Victorian era, where you’ll be “locked” inside an exquisitely decorated escape room packed with puzzles and games, period artifacts, and some superb secrets and surprises. You and dad will have to put your logic and quick-thinking skills to good use if you’re going to escape in time… before the iconic building is destroyed! A seriously unique, adrenaline-pumping experience that you and dad will remember for years to come.
